Ecclesiastes 3:15: How can God be everywhere at one time?


That which has been is now And that which is to be has already been And THE Elohim exacts that which is past

This verse is rich! 

It contains HOPE, for God sees and knows everything from beginning to end. Whatever our troubles are, God is not surprised by them, because he is the High and Lofty one that inhabits eternity. 

Our God is an ever present help in time of need.

Our God is a dimensional being. Science has identified ten dimensions in our universe. We can only see three of them, but our Creator inhabits every one of them simultaneously. Our finite understanding cannot comprehend this, never-the-less the Bible says this is true. He is ever-present. Does Ecclesiastes 3:15 give us a clue as to how he can hear and answer our prayers before we even think to ask?

What has been is now and what is now has already been... Have you asked God for something that is promised in his Word? Then he has already answered that prayer. Because he is the High and Lofty one who inhabits eternity. Put on the whole armor of God and when you have done all...STAND.

He exacts [justice for] that which is past... Are you waiting for justice? God will bring justice. To everything there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven. To us a child is born To us a Son is given And the government shall be upon HIS shoulders And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, The Prince of Peace. 

In the Kingdom of God, judges will make righteous judgments. 

We see the Godhead in this verse. The plural, triune, Elohim is referred to as THE Elohim. One entity yet three (It takes three to make a plural in Hebrew). Again, our finite understanding cannot comprehend this, yet the Bible says it is true.
